2013: Bret Stephens, Wall Street Journal, "for his incisive columns on American foreign policy and domestic politics, often enlivened by a contrarian twist." :anglo-burn:
Even libs are admitting that the pendulum swing between a bland neolib and a proto-fascist for president is here to stay.
They always dream with it being that and nothing else. But the time will come :marx:

Oh that was bad. There was some white boomer doctor taking pity on himself for fighting against the Orange Man for 5 years and whining how he needed a break. "My job is done" give me a break!
This is the type of person that the Democrats courted, all the while telling the left to go fuck themselves.
Will's interview with Thomas Frank, just last episode (511), actually discusses how Biden's capturing the PMC / petite bourgeoise latter-day liberal Republicans, while jettisoning all the working class white collar voters. It literally is the type of person Dems are courting, and a big reason why they've made inroads into states like Virginia, Colorado, and Arizona, while losing Ohio and Indiana and Wisconsin and Iowa.
Frank talks about how the wealthiest corners of Kansas have flipped to the Democrats for the first time in a century. These communities are coming around on social issues while doubling down on economic conservatism, and Biden's party is rapidly incorporating them into the new Democratic establishment.
"Coming around to social issues" = "It's okay to be gay as long as you're rich."
More broadly, the Church of The Ivy League is replacing our old social networks. Anything goes, if you're a Yale-y.
Here's Hillary Clinton making a similar statement:

How can I contact Mr Stevens to voice my opinions on his writing does he still have social media
Send the letter to me and I'll shove it into the seam of the mattress at my old apartment.
